Decrease the size of a FORGE managed EC2 instance

Is there a way to manage the size of a forge managed ec2 instance (not using elastic ip either)?

I think you'll need to do that directly in the AWS dashboard.

@WILBURPOWERY - For sure, but if I am understanding this correctly when my EC2 instance is restarted it may lose its IP address - but wondering how forge will react to it?

You might need to manually update the IP in the Forge UI if that occurs. I haven't used EC2 much but it shouldn't be too difficult.

There you can change the name, ssh port, ip address and other stuff.
